The Macleay River Historical Society’s Museum is located in the award winning Glenn Murcutt building situated in the South Kempsey Park on the Pacific Highway. This building was opened in April, 1983 and prior to this the Museum was housed in Elbow Street, West Kempsey. The current Museum had an additional wing added in 1988. In the courtyard of the museum is the Settler's Cottage. This building, built circa 1910 had been moved several times before being acquired by the museum in 1990.
